The pre-angled dampers work together with the angle of the body structure so that, when tracking force is applied, the signal coils are optimally aligned with the magnet circuit. The Delos also has a microridge stylus for outstanding tracking, a non-parallel solid metal body for low resonances, and nude construction for greater clarity. The result is clearly improved sound quality, particularly resolution, dynamic range, transient impact and immediacy.
Specifications
- Designer : Jonathan Carr
- Builder : Yoshinori Mishima (final build, testing), Akiko Ishiyama (primary build)
- Type : Medium weight, medium compliance, low-impedance moving coil cartridge
- Stylus: Namiki microridge line-contact nude diamond stylus (2.5um x 75um), surface-mounted
